LG Optimus 4X HD sees early benchmarks
Remember LG? They make smartphones too, you know. They unveiled several new ones at MWC 2012, and their flagship phone this time around is the LG Optimus 4X HD. Just like other phones at the event, it has NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 chip at its heart. So how does it stack up to other Tegra 3 devices? Benchmarks have emerged that reveal all. Techblog.gr managed to score one of LG’s new superphones and put it through its paces. In terms of raw benchmarks, here are the crucial details: Quadrant saw a score of 4,512, 11,147 on AnTuTu, and 44.5fps on NenaMark2. Engadget notes that the Quadrant and NenaMark scores are lower, while the AnTuTu score is higher. Having said that, we’re most likely looking at software that hasn’t been finalized, and both phones are running the same chip and Čítaj ďalej: http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/5uFk2VbsWPE/

Nokia job listing suggests PureView tech in future Windows Phone
Nokia impressed everyone at MWC 2012 with its 808 PureView handset, packing 41 megapixels into the camera. There’s no exact date for when the Symbian handset will be dropping in Europe, although we already know that it won’t be gracing the shores of the United States. That doesn’t mean the same technology won’t be showing up in future phones. A new job advertisement shows that Nokia are looking for a senior specialist in “imaging algorithms” to work on Windows Phone. The job was posted on March 19th, and describes how Nokia is looking for someone to “be a part of a team in charge of developing the next big thing related to imaging and camera.” In fact, the job listing specifically mentions the 808 PureView, asking if the applicant wants “to take part in creating the next chapter in Nokia’s Windows Phone Čítaj ďalej: http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/R_H-WDvLJfI/

The Titan II does have two stand out features, though. First is the absolutely bonkers 16 megapixel camera, handy for those who take comfort in knowing more is automatically better. The second is LTE connectivity, making the Titan II the second Windows Phone handset to be blessed with the high-speed network option after the Lumia 900. The battery is rated at 1,730mAh, and is all running on Windows Phone 7.5. While the HTC Titan II’s 16 megapixel camera definitely Čítaj ďalej: http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/JBl5-rghfts/

Google Chrome hacked at $1m Pwnium contest
Eric Schmidt may have claimed that Google’s Chrome browser is “by far the safest” at his MWC 2012 keynote speech last week, but that hasn’t stopped an enterprising student from finding an exploit at CanSecWest Pwnium, an alternative to the Pwn2Own contest. The Russian university student, Sergey Glazunov, managed to bypass Chrome’s sandbox and exploit two vulnerabilities in the extension sub-system. Glazunov finds bugs in the browser as part of Google’s bug bounty program, and was commended for his research work, as well as the exploit itself. Talking to ZDNet, Justin Schuh, part of Google’s security team, said: It didn’t break out of the sandbox [but] it avoided the sandbox. It was an impressive exploit. It required a deep understanding of how Chrome works. This is not a trivial thing to do. Glazunov’s reward for finding the exploit? A cool $60,000.
